Stephanie Olson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at Purdue University. Her research focuses on the co-evolution of life and the environment, particularly in the context of Earth’s oxygenation and planetary habitability. Olson is interested in finding life on exoplanets and exploring the mechanisms that enabled Earth's atmosphere to support diverse life forms. She has made significant contributions to our understanding of oceanic and atmospheric processes, especially regarding methane cycling and climate feedback mechanisms in changing environments. Through her work as a T.C. Chamberlin Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago and as a Chancellor's Distinguished Fellow at the University of California, Olson has developed a robust academic profile supported by numerous publications in high-impact journals. Her research combines geochemistry and geophysics to address fundamental questions about the conditions necessary for life to thrive on other planets.
